I let the children play with “inuja”whenever they done their work, they always enjoy playing with the “inuja” and pretend to be out camping or they usually say ‘shush their sleeping’ be quiet so you won’t wake then up in Inuktitut, and i love reading Inuktitut books to them. They enjoy when i read to them.

How I deliver Inuit cultural play

Starting with a song we can sing about being old the land on the qamutik. Afterwards we can play Inuya, which is an Inuit doll game, where there’s Ataataa (Dad) Anaanaa (Mom) irnik (son) panik (daughter) and a little baby, we can get them to imagine we are preparing to head out comping and we all need to lend a helping hand, reminds them that we are the ones who makes things run smooth and make things happen. And we can go outdoors to check out foot prints and flowers we use for resources.

I highly recommend the Inuit culture is most interesting and most important to our young children to know our history about out door and indoor activities, indoor baseball with traditional sealskin ball, Inuit dolls that made our from scraps from wood and traditional clothing, we also have toddlers amauti and silapaaq’s for the boy’s that they use daily if they want to, outdoors activities such as nakataq (throwing rocks) playing house with rocks, and our Inuktitut language is the number 1 that we tried to use as much as we can at our facilities

Working positively to deliver Inuit culture

Doing the puzzles that have traditional prints can be a way to start playing using Inuit culture, for example we can start with he Camping print and as we go along we can say “we have a tent to keep us warm during rainy and windy days along with other family members. If the camping puzzle is done we can do the Animal shape and pretend to go hunting and talk about how we harvest different ways and which animal can be harvested. After the puzzles we can start by saying what a beautiful day we had and still pretend to be out inland and use the traditional food prep and pretend to eat what we harvested, after a very good meal we can pretend to have tea and bannock. That is how I would deliver a positive Inuit culture play to children.

Singing in Inuktitut, naulii kulu, nukakulu, i, pi, ti, ki. Using their hands and singing along. We use Inuktitut language in our daycare. Few years ago we had arvik, inirvik, seal skins, kids use to pretend majjak a seal skin, and put into the frame. And they also had tent with toys such as Coleman stove toy, tea pot, pretending to be out on the land, hunting. With toy gun, kakivak, ulu.
